STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Take a Strap Back

Hats are lifesavers. Whether you have a bad hair day or you need protection from the sun, hats are always a necessity. There are many different kinds of hats: slouchy beanies, classic fedoras, sporty caps, etc. However, today a popular trend has begun with the strapback, in which many depend on to give their outfits an extra oomph.

I’ve never really been into hats until I realized I could cover up my unruly, frizzy and curly hair with it. Therefore, I always relied on beanies or baseball caps to keep my hair down. However, I was introduced to the strapback and, believe me, it’s definitely made a difference in my hair and fashion life! Not only does it keep my hair tamed, it also gives my casual, simple outfits an extra boost. With my straightforward style, I tend to fall for the casual and solid color snapbacks, but tribal and polka-dotted snapbacks have also caught my attention.

Now, check out this Fashionisto’s look. He paired a simple gray graphic T-shirt, light blue button-down, cut-off jeans and Vans sneakers, with a bold, tribal print OBEY Propaganda snap-back. His outfit was perfectly simple and easy to follow, but with the hat, each of the elements included in his outfit were balanced with his eye-catching accessory.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Simplicity is your best friend. However, make sure your outfit stands out with a staple and bold element. I turn to hats to make my effortless outfit pop.”
